Wrong HS code, a missed trade-agreement benefit, the wrong Incoterm — each quietly adds to your landed cost on every single shipment.
We audit how you import and cut the cost legally — correct classification, FTA/CEPA duty benefits, duty-saving schemes, IGST credit and smarter freight. No grey areas, no risk — just money you shouldn't be spending.
हर import पर आप शायद ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा duty चुका रहे हैं — हम उसे legally कम करते हैं।
સાચું HS code ને FTA benefit — import નો landed cost ઘટે, કાયદેસર રીતે.
What you really pay for an import is never just the supplier's price. It's a stack — and some layers can be cut legally, while some are fixed. We work on the ones that move.
Bars are illustrative of a typical cost structure — your real breakdown is what we audit first. તમારો સાચો breakdown પહેલાં અમે તપાસીએ છીએ.
Each of these is a legitimate, documented way to lower your import cost — not a loophole. हर तरीका कानूनी और documented है।
One wrong tariff code can put you in a higher duty slab on every shipment. We re-check your classification so you pay the right duty — not a rupee more. सही HS code = सही duty.
India has trade agreements with ASEAN, Japan, Korea, UAE, Australia and more — many imports qualify for reduced or zero customs duty with the right Certificate of Origin. Most importers never claim it.
Advance Authorisation on inputs that go into exports, EPCG on machinery, and MOOWR bonded warehousing to defer duty — the right scheme can cut or postpone duty entirely. સાચી scheme = મોટી બચત.
IGST paid at import is often creditable or refundable — yet it quietly sits unclaimed on many books. We make sure every eligible rupee comes back. IGST का credit छूटना नहीं चाहिए।
Buying on the wrong Incoterm (CIF vs FOB), the wrong port, or without consolidating can inflate landed cost. We help you structure the deal so freight works for you.
Demurrage, detention, wrong documents and avoidable penalties bleed cash on clearance. We tighten the process so these simply stop happening. Demurrage ને penalty — બંધ.
Once a bill of entry is assessed and cleared, recovering excess duty is hard and often impossible. The real savings come from getting classification, valuation and documents right before the goods land. Clearance से पहले सुधार — बाद में नहीं।
Partner દેશમાંથી import? — ઓછી duty નો લાભ મળી શકે.
